What ph neutral cleaner do you recommend for ceramic tile?

I've never liked the concept of mops. Only bought one a couple of years ago when a cleaning lady I hired insisted. Seems like it just moves dirty water around. Yuck! I got a Hoover Floormate about 20 years ago. Like the Bissel, It has very small tanks and takes forever to clean my floors. Then I bought a steam mop (with lots of the fabric mops). I found it picked up dirt left over after the Hoover. So, I retired the Hoover. Today, I steam mopped the kitchen. Then, brought the Hoover out of retirement and it picked up even more dirt. While the grout might (?) look a bit better in places, it is still a problem. The carpet upstairs will be professionally cleaned next week and while he is here, I'll ask how expensive it would be to professionally clean the tile on the first floor. In the past, I've tried my tiny steamer, an electric grout brush and brush cleaner. Incredibly time consuming and I didn't really see a real difference.

Hi! What tool were you using at the end of this video to clean the grout and what product got all that dirt off? Was it the Zep? Thanks!

Not even going to say as a mansion

Did you ever end up coming across a machine for residential use that actually does get into the grout?

I think this video came to me because I searched how to seal my shower. After watching I am glad I have hardwood floors in my kitchen. Even though they come with challenges too.

Hello. Do you know anyone really good and qualified to clean my dirty grout in the Austin Tx area? If so pls share the info with me. I hired someone last year and they weren’t able to get the dirt out.

Thank you 🙏 For those of us who are autistic & struggle with loud noise, this machine is a no go from my autistic perspective & need for quiet machine noise. Think similar to the quiet noise from an electric car motor / engine noise that is waaaaaaay quieter compared to a diesel or petrol combustion motor / engine 🙌👂

Top notch!

WHERE DO YOU BUY THIS HUSKY 901 SOLVENT BASED INDUSTRIAL CLEANER / DEGREASER CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE ????

There is a Hoover format that does wasp dry and also survive swivel and it also has the power button the cord way up on it so yeah you bought the older version. It’s OK.

Same old story. Steam/hot water. Hot water does not clean as this guy lets you believe. Chemistry cleans. Try washing dishes and your clothes in hot water..yep still dirty.

Tell the whole truth, grout can be recolored and looks amazing when completed.

Do you have your be careful about using a steamer on tiles? Do tiles ever crack? Thinking about trying the Bissell spin wave steamer.

Thank you for this! Had a mishap with our apartments carpet and though all hope was lost and we’d have to replace it but dying it to be at least passable vs an entire reinstall of carpet is a much better option for us currently.

LOL WHAT 😂😂😂 YOUR SAYING A CROSSWAVE IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN A MOP BROOOOOO.😂😂😂😂 THIS SHIT IS SO SPONSORED AND WROOOOONG

Color sealing grout will solve the mis-matched grout repairs. penetrating sealers deliver very poor performance at protecting grout from future soils. Your presentation was well thought out and edited well.

Please make a simple clear statement about what specifically I should use to clean the tile floor and the bathtub. I have no idea what a "neutral" cleaning product. That's just words with no meaning to me. JUST TELL ME WHAT TO BUY!!!

Why even put in instructions....

What about uaing a steam cleaner followed by a wet vaccuum? Would that be effective? How soon would you vaccuum after steaming?

My favorite alkaline cleaner is Awesome Cleaner that is available at dollar stores and Home Depot. It takes down grease like no other!

Thanks for the video! Earned my subscribe. Curious, are products like Zep (acidic and alkaline) generally okay to use in a custom shower that has porcelain tile but is lined with a rubber liner? I just had house remodeled and just cautious as not to damage the rubber liner under the tiles. I honestly would assume so as many ppl have custom showers made as such but you never know.

Not for me. As I am 84 a fall could break a hip. Not that I'm frightened it is more serious at my age. Maybe if someone else was there to steady the wobbles??

what does it cost for a 6 x 8 bathroom thank you

Is it dangerous to steam clean grout on natural stone tile? Will it destroy the stone? What about near shower tempered glass panel?

I enjoyed this video. Thank you

Use a dark grout.

Informative. Why is a microfibre mop better than an old fashioned yacht mop?

I used just the lemon 🍋 juice, which works better than yours. Try It.

But what kind of dye dud u use

Looked a little green when you were done

Did he mix husky 901 with simple green???

I hope you can help me. I live in an apartment and my kitchen floor is driving me nuts. The building won't replace the floors and they are old, dirty with no shine. They laid peel and stick, but didn't bother to push them together. So there are gaps and if I don't scrap out the gaps every few months, I get baby cockroaches. Yes I know GROSS. I'm 65 and it's getting to hard to spend hours on my hands and knees to clean every gap. My dog won't eat her kibble unless I check it first. Did I mention this is the 3rd layer of flooring. Tiles are loose and I glued them. Can I use my Little Green Steam machine and a shop vacuum to clean these gross gaps. HELP!

Maxi pad mop. Thank you that is the hardest I've laughed in awhile 😂

Vacuuming is the key with these type of mops even though they are advertised as an all-in-one

So, the grout we're using for centuries is a horrific error, as it's horrible, like almost impossible to clean. WTAF!

Amazing how you lifted that up into your truck with ease

I thought he was Billy Ray Cyrus.😂

“I’m not even gona get Into what the dogs are up to” 😂 not me sitting here learning how to clean/reseal tile floor while my dog is actively licking the tile floor that smells like wet dog now everytime I mop! Help!😂😂😢

Super helpful video.

Steve Irwin😮

I have had one for a few years. Your review is 100% correct. Perfect for the 800-900 sq ft first floor if you want convenience of battery (ie we have both corded and cordless Miele vacs and it’s convenience vs power). If you’re a person that has hard floor you clean with swiffer mop heads or old fashioned sponge mop, this Tineco was a great upgrade without the bulk of the Hoover. Also my battery life is starting to decrease, so I’m now looking into battery replacement sooner than later which is neither cheap nor easy to do. But over the life (and continued life) it’s served us well. Thanks for a thorough and fair review!

someone told me to use a carpet cleaner on my tile kitchen floor, because it scrubs, has heat and sucks up. what do you think?

i know you’re probably tired of these videos, but i find them very helpful. I wondered if you could test the ones that have heat now? I just wonder how much better they do with heat. i’ve got a steam mop and it’s absolutely horrible on my kitchen. I need something heavy duty scrubbing. I’ve got a bit of a hobby farm. my kitchen needs to be cleaned. I just don’t know what will do heavy work. After i got my steam mop, on the inside way into the manual it says “for light cleaning”. please help

Is there a machine that a DIYer can buy that you do reccomend which is effective for deep clenaing hard tiles and grout etc that isnt super expensive, now in 2024?

What about the instructions on the bottle to wear gloves and safety goggles? Are they not necessary?

I found a source in EU, seems to cost 8 euros. I bought one from ebay, got the original out by taking the foot assembly apart. Now I am trying to put it back together. Almost there but I have a little black hose hanging down from the body, can't remember where it inserts. If you see this please respond!!! Can't find a schematic anywhere... I got it put together! I think it might have been an overflow hose. Also, when I put mine bqck together, now it stands by itself. Whoever put it together in the factory did it wrong and the base just hung there.

Why is Borris Johnson teaching me about grout?

1) Awesome video, not just for grout! 2) 7th Generation Disinfective Multi-Surface Cleaner Spray Bottle says it’s a pH of 4?!?

What a fantastic down to earth video review. My main reason to get a hard floor cleaner was to clean my 100m2 of floor Tiles and Grout. You were spot on when you said it does not clean Grout. Why hasn't someone come up with a hard floor cleaner that cleans Tiles & Grout...even if it means swapping Roller Brushes ( one for Grout and one for Tiles ) Its not that hard especially if its a "domestic version" of the big Tile & Grout Industrial machines.
